OAP needing a little clarity on the NEW NHL26
Good morning everyone!
We are finally here --preseason--then we are in full tilt.
Old Age Pensioner here--who since 1992 always enjoys a slice on EA NHL.....Times are a little harderthese days (for everyone) so just wanted to get a good view of how other members are rating NHL 26, before I stump up the £££ (I did post this in the O/S Forum, but find the new look forum very tricky.
Spent 6 months editing to finally get my version of NHL25 playable---so am a little reluctant to just drop the project and start again with NHL 26...SO was wandering IF SOME OF YOU YOUNGSTERS WHO HAVE THE GAME CAN CHECK SOME THINGS FOR ME---Any info would be much appreciatted. (Offline Season Player)
Season / Franchise Mode: Can we (finally) EDIT player attributes once we have started a Season/Franchise?
Player Profile Pics: My Wife laughs (in fact multiple Wives have laughed lol) but do we have Player Portraits of Anton Frondell (Swedish SHL Djurgarden), Adam Novotny (CZE Mountfield) Ivar Stenberg (SHL Frolunda) Milton Gastrin (MODO SWE)--as well as NHL players such as Tsyplakov (NYI), and the late additions of last year eg ; Demidov (MTL) Buim (MINN) etc--Im hoping theres NO NHL regulars that are "faceless"
CPU AI : The usual---does the CPU on PK still attack with D men (bizarre), do the CPU Goalies leak unrealistic goals (eg: a shot is stopped then somehow powers into the net? Does the CPU set up on better PP?
Are we seeeing Penalties/PPs....I had read somehwere that the dreaded Penalty bug isnt calling obvious fouls?
What does the Body checking, Poke checking and the Goaltending look like?
Any regrets leaving 25 to upgrade to the "new kid?"
On Screen Icons : Can you remove from screen the increasing amount of graphics--such as Xfactors, Pressure Meters, etc (I like to try and keep it as TV like)
Presentation: Fully accept that we may never see the NBC style of presentation again, but I have heard that theres some improvement regarding "Replays / End Game Highlights?", and Pre Game intros.....May I ask if this is apparent in other modes rather than just BAP?
Again, THANK YOU so much for your time. I fully realise that this must be a tedious request, and I dont want to hogg the boards or anyones time.
Thank you all....and have agreat weekend.
Johhny
